>So that tells me it's something about asp.net.
Nope, asp.net is not responsible for serving htm files by default.
Your application start is firing correctly because you can request a page.
Your logic and steps you have taken does not indicate a problem with your
application_start handler. Rather, the problem seems to be with the code
that fires inside the application_start handler. Try re-writing with some
error handling code first to see what gives.
